Tami and Tanner's visit

Zanthias playing with his fun new drums from his grandma.
Zanthias loves Tanner!


Tanner wearing Zan's hat in a bigger size

Zanthias got tired when we were painting.


Our air mattress has a big leak-but Tanner slept right through it!
Fun at Paws on



Going to have lots of pics to post! We had a fun time! We went to the zoo, beach, and paint your own pottery.
Zanthias has 6 teeth now! His 9 month dr. visit is on the 31st, as well as a 9 month professional photo shoot with the same photographer we used last time.

Quick post-Paws on at the zoo

New water area at our local zoo. We bought a membership for Zanthias' birthday (yes, we know it's early, but we wanted to start using it!) It's really fun.

Trying to walk

A small compilation of his first steps and how well he can stand.

Avocado is messy!

Clean up time!

4th of July!

Sacked out after a long day.
Drew, Zanthias, and Xiomara (our friends' baby-she is a healthy 9 lbs but looks tiny next to our monster!)



You can't make me watch!


So when is the parade going to start anyway?






Happy 4th of July and thanks to all our veterans! We went to a parade this morning, and YUCK! It was ridiculously hot, even though we were in the shade. It was the crappiest parade I've ever seen, but Zan enjoyed some of it. He liked the band and the horses, and hated the tow trucks (yes, several tow trucks were in the parade!) that were blasting their horns. He actually wore his sunglasses for a while too.

I can get off the couch

I like sweet potatoes!

Look at my sweet tattoo-it says Mom!
We tried some organic sweet potato fries today, and they were a hit! While he didn't eat much (if any), he definitely liked the taste of them. So did the dogs, who got what he dropped/threw on the ground.
He's discovered his tongue and likes to stick it out. His 5th tooth is visible and we think it will come out any day now.
